I’d say it seems pretty clear HTC is now listening to a different set of “customers”.

  1. Yes, and reading the article it seems HTC is now listening to the customers who actually bring in the money.
    Listening to Customer set A: 197% increase in profits.
    Listening to Customer set B: 70% decline in profits.

    Listening to Customer set A seems like a sensible business decision.

    On one hand I can agree that listening to Customer set B sounds nicer and more noble and all. I like that approach.
    On the other hand driving HTC into bankruptcy would be an irresponsible act, if you consider the people who would get laid off if HTC gone bust.
